Curtis elected mayor of Whitehorse

Election results require recount

WHITEHORSE, Yukon — With over 41 rejected ballots in the Oct. 18 election and only two votes separating the closest City Council candidates, the ballots of Whitehorse electors need to be recounted, said Returning Officer Norma Felker.

“Under these circumstances the Municipal Act requires us to hold a recount,” said Felker. “Until the recount has been completed, all results will remain unofficial.”

Felker also said, “The recount will take at least one full day so we won’t be releasing official results until next week.”
